We Bought a $3,000 Toyota Camry to Battle BYD's CHEAPEST EV

Video summary

Press to jump

1:42The BYD Atto 1 introduces the question: new budget EV or cheaper used car?
2:08Marty arrives in a $3,000 manual V6 Toyota Camry to provide the used-car alternative.
5:44The sound test contrasts the EV's reversing chime with the Camry's revving engine.
7:47The standing-start drag race begins, followed by a rolling-start test at 09:54.
11:39Acceleration and braking are combined in the go-to-woe challenge.
13:00The slalom puts cone avoidance and elapsed time into the comparison.

The Camry brought the biggest new audience, but a turbocharged Yaris and a welding tip are keeping Mighty Car Mods' workshop busy too. Marty and Moog posted eight uploads, with their used-Toyota-versus-new-EV comparison approaching 300,000 views.

That comparison has also become a small gathering place for Camry memories. One viewer recalls borrowing a showroom car for prom and checking outside the window to hear whether its quiet engine was running. Another remembers childhood school pickups in a neighbor's Camry. Between those recollections, viewers keep pointing to Moog's Prince-style guitar appearance. Practical family transport does not usually come with this much musical discussion.

Elsewhere, "WAGON SUPREMACY" makes the useful case that a wagon can carry an engine, while "Welding Vision Tip" puts eye protection on the short-form agenda. The welding upload is now drawing more daily views than the Camry comparison. Just above it is "How We Killed a YARIS with a TURBO," whose description fondly calls the engine-swapped, boosted project Yaris Hilton.

Across the channel, daily views are running about a third above their usual level, while subscribers were unchanged over the week. Nearby in motoring, Jay Leno's Garage is enjoying a stronger-than-usual daily audience, while TheStradman is quieter than its norm.

For MCM, the week's range remains pleasingly specific: testing a cheap daily driver, finding room to haul an engine and remembering what happened when a high-mileage Yaris got a turbo.

What viewers say

My uncle worked for Toyota when the Camry came out.. On my prom night, he arranged a brand new metalic blue Camry from the showfloor for me for the evening... I remember sticking my head out the window to make sure it was running... it was so quiet!

Are we going to pretend we didn’t see Moog dressed as Prince?

The XV10 V6 Vienta was my first car ever. V6 Toyota's have a special place in my heart.

My folks have a camry. They purchased it from the neighbour. The neighbour got it brand new as a company car. I remember the drives in this car when i was 7 years old. My neighbour picked us up from school. That was 32 years ago. Magic!
